An incredible collection of stories for our shared planet from the likes of Joanne Harris, Toby Litt and Liz Jensen A riveting and provocative collection of short fiction, Beacons throws down the gauntlet to award-winning writers, challenging them to devise original responses to the climate crisis. From Joanne Harris’ cautionary tale of a world where ‘outside’ has become a thing of the past, to Nick Hayes’ graphic depiction of the primeval bond between man and nature, each story thrills the senses as it attempts to make sense of a world warping into something unfamiliar. Original, eclectic, and inventive, Beacons warns and inspires by offering stories that are as various as our possible futures. All author royalties will go to the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition.

The fascinating story of how free African Americans and runaway slaves crossed international borders to fight for freedom and racial justice.

Beacons of Tomorrow: Second Collection continues the efforts of Tyrannosaurus Press to bring talented, emerging storytellers to the attention of a broader readership. The eighteen compelling stories in this anthology run the gamut of speculative fiction, from past to post-apocalyptic, from surreal to supernatural, and from futuristic to fantastic.

What if those moments we put down to coincidence are really the calling cards of God? What if those pinpricks of light in the darkest places are beacons to guide us, telling of the agonizing love in God's heart? What if God is calling to us, 'I miss you, please come home' ? Lighting the Beacons seeks to expand our everyday horizons by daring us to believe that the realities of heaven can break through right here, right now. Inspired by her own recurring vision of pinpricks of light being fanned into flame, Bishop Jill writes for a wide audience to kindle faith in our hearts, to light beacons. Lighting The Beacons seeks to encourage those who are curious about the Christian faith, those who feel discouraged and those aspiring to be giants of faith and part of a transformed society. Lighting The Beacons is illustrated throughout with stories from contemporary culture, Scripture and the writings of the saints. It makes an excellent gift for those who yearn to be transformed by God. With study guides at the end of each chapter, it is also ideal for group discussion.
